Condition
This work is in very good condition overall. There is evidence of light wear and handling along the edges including an extremely faint crease at the upper right corner. There is a slight undulation to the sheet, inherent to the artists working method. The paper has discolored slightly with age. Under very close inspection there are some extremely faint and unobrusive soiling marks visible along the lower margin of the sheet, and a faint diagonal abrasion is visible 3¼ inches from the upper edge and 1¼ inches from the right edge. The sheet is hinged verso intermittently along the upper edge. Framed under Plexiglas.
